Freight handling ended on 20 December 1960, luggage handling ended on 3 February 1975, and the station was destaffed under a simplified-agency arrangement at the same time. The original station building was replaced in 1982 with a small shelter converted from a shipping container. The station was absorbed into JR East at the privatisation of Japanese National Railways on 1 April 1987, and it lies on the Yamagata Line nickname section of the Ōu Main Line, with Yamagata Shinkansen trains passing through without stopping.

The current station building is a converted shipping container, installed in 1982 in place of the previous station building.
